Der berühmte US-Journalist James Suckling (früher »Wine Spectator«) hat aktuell unter der Rubrik „Portugal's Greatest Wines in 2015- Top 100 Wines in 2015” die Port- und Stillweine von
Niepoort aus dem
D.O.C. Douro hoch bewertet. Über deren ›
Vintage 1970‹, den er mit 99/100 Punkten bewertet, schreibt er nachfolgend im Original:
„I am trying to believe that this is 1970. The freshness and brightness is unequaled. Full-bodied and off dry with super refined tannins. So much violet and blueberry character. This seems to be getting younger. From a stout bottle. There were two bottlings - a long and short bottle. The later is stunning now.”
